[General Features]The Aonamiuchi series feature the beautiful & precious WAVE pattern seen on the reverse side surface. The pattern is called "Montanren", generated in the process by only high-skill black-smiths.The blade material is "Aoko" or Blue Paper (Aogami) No.1 Steel Knife, made from famous Yasugi steel, known as prime high carbon steel, specifically developed for tools and knives. This material has highest wear resistance and toughness because of special hardness. Very good choice for high end Japanese kitchen knives. The blade is particularly suitable for the gentle preparation of foods though you need to treat the blade to prevent from rust.

Speaking to the handle, made of Japanese yew (Taxus cuspidata) wood, the Japanese-Style Octagonal figure fits better comfortably to your hand. The Japanese yew wood is dense, hard and beautiful with luster, so that it has been used to make important tools for high-level officials in ancient Japan.The Buffalo Tsuba equipped to the handle represents high-quality and excellent durability, that means made for professional originally.(Please be noted that the buffalo tsuba (guard) is a natural product that may possibly be different from the image in color.)
